Well, we are officially waiting for PINK!! I watched as Fed Ex brought it down to Guatemala, and finally was received at the USE at 4pm! I know, too much adoption lingo, it just means it is coming down to the end and I couldn't be happier! Ryan is coming tomorrow, and we can't wait! I pray the USE will not keep us waiting, as I know my sister will be a twitching mess checking her computer every 5 seconds!!!(Am I right Steph?!~love you! & you too Jen, but I know you are relaxing by a pool somewhere, so I am stressing Steph out instead!!) ;)Wow, this is her like being in the delivery room!! Exciting stuff!

In other news, not much going on here! We are trying to rid ourselves of all the food, so we don't have to pack it back up! We are doing a pretty good job too! The boys had stale cheerios, and stale chips for snack,(everything gets stale fast here!) I told them they could just dump them, but they said"then we have nothing!" And they are right! We can't wait till Daddy gets here, then we can go out and grab a few treats!! A few packages of pasta, and some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and we are all out!! Yeah!!!

It was rainy, but the boys still swam! Crazy kids! Here are a few pictures of our day! Hoping to post great news tomorrow! Thanks for praying!!

Oh I am so excited for you. i have been checking your blog all day to see if you would update with this news. Big day tomorrow, I just know it. Wrapping Ryan in God's arms as he travels to be reunited with you all in Guat. Days away from coming home. Susie

Godspeed Ryan!! Bring your family home! Prayers all day, Stac, savor these last few days, dear friend. Grab coffee and your Bible and asked God to make your last few days memorable in His word....you'll always be able to come back to that time. We love you guys!!

Started praying for Ryan and his travel first thing today. Then had to check the blog as soon as I could to find out the report on the DNA. We praise the Lord with you on its arrival at the USE. We will continue to pray for a quick PINK and VISA appointment.

Your so right about the twitching!! Checking e-mail is my main job for the day:) The rest can wait! I'm so happy Ry will be with you in a few hours. It's time for you to be together again! Praying this day is yet another day you'll never forget!! Go PINK! Love you all more than words can say!

I would gather children

Some would gather money along the path of life, Some would gather roses, And rest from worldly strife. But I would gather children from among the thorns of sin, I would seek a golden curl, And a freckled, toothless grin. For money cannot enter in that land of endless day, And roses that are gathered soon will wilt along the way. But oh, the laughing children, As I cross the sunset sea, And the gates swing wide to heaven I can take them in with me!Author unknown
